Guest ironiC Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Specifically in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/host.deny settings I...set just keep getting changed on me. I've tried making them read only and everything, it seems as if my changes take effect but then after a certain amount of time or a reboot they get switched back. In sshd_config I want to set the line PermitRootLogin without-password to PermitRootLogin yes but.... after I set it and save it eventually changes itself back to PermitRootLogin without-password. In hosts.deny this line keeps showing up ALL:ALL EXCEPT 127.0.0.1:DENY I delete it and it reappears, I comment it out and it comes back. I'm beginning to think my box is playing a dirty trick on me, either that or I am going nuts. Any ideas?

devries Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Probably some service or deamon resets the settings. My guess would be the DHCP client. Try a static adress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironiC Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I already have a static address configured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Have a browse through your log files in /var/log - whatever is doing this (msec perhaps?) ought to leave a record of it. What security level are you running at? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
